New member. Here are some before pictures. I am doing a complete restoration with many new mods. It is too far gone to go back to stock now so NCRS means "Not Correctly Restored Stingray" in this case! I am about 1/2 way though the restore. The car was originally modified in 1972. I am keeping the "period correct" look. "Before" 327 small base tripower as shown. "After" 500 HP 383 Forged, full roller stroker, AFR heads, W/ new large base tripower and nitrous. Auto Gear 4 Speed, Centerforce dual friction clutch, McLeod Scattershield and Block protector. 411 HD Posi, 3" half shafts W/ safety loops. Southside Machine IRS Traction Bar. Recaro buckets redone in black with red accents and headrest speakers, dash as shown with black humps and red center. Kenwood stereo with kick panel speakers, twin dash speaker, Amp and rear subwoofers. Red carpet, Black and red door panels, New paint Corvette Torch Red with Lexus Black Pearl Stinger Hood with House of Kolor Fireball flake in first 2 clear coats and 3 clear coats over that. Sequential tailights, 4 round Halogen headlights, 58 Corvette Tooth Grill, 8 x 15 Cragar SS wheels with 3 bar spinners and 225 60 15 BFG Radial T/A's in front. 15 x 12 Cragar SS with 3 bar spinners with 295 50 15 BFG Radial T/A's in rear.
